Comment:I am 23 years old and avoiding taking the pill for so many years because I was terrified of gaining weight and the negative side effects. When I started struggling with hormonal acne that is very painful and embarrassing, I decided it was time. I only took loryna for a month and the first 3 weeks I was spotting/ bleeding and would get weird cramps around the time before I would be due for my pill (probably meant it would ware out). I experienced mood swings and depression and was more emotional. I didn't lose all Interest in sex but was less in the mood than I usually am. My boobs were also constantly swollen and sore and I am already a D cup. I also got these weird tiny bumps on my chest and my acne did not clear up but I was only taking it for a month. Bottom line this pill wasn't for me. Hide Full Comment

Comment: Like many, I was switched to Loryna by the pharmacy with no warning. I was on Gianvi for a few years and had NO problems or abnormal issues. Loryna has made me overly anxious, emotional, and unbelievably angry over the past 3 months. I cry in public and everything sends me into a blind rage.

Loryna has made me overly anxious, emotional, and unbelievably angry over the past 3 months. I cry in public and everything sends me into a blind rage. I get spotting in the middle of the month, my periods are a day later and spread into a few days after it should stop with. Cramps start a day or two before my periods over. MY breasts are tender for what seems like the whole month as well. My body has never been so off after using this and I absolutely will switch. Hide Full Comment

Comment:I am a 37 y/o mother of two who has been on many different bc over the years. For me Loryna is the absolute worst. Initially there was spotting, ok, that happens when you change bc. Afterseveral months (4 I think)the spotting finally stopped, but now I get horrific abdominal pain, bloating and pressure like at the end of pregnancy when you are ready to pop, and yes my breasts have also gone up by two cup sizes. I have never in my life felt more uncomfortable in my own body than I have these last few months on Loryna. Thank you ladies for sharing your experiences which have allowed me to realize I was not imagining these things. Yes, each person is different and every body will respond a little differently to a prescription medication; this one is just not for me.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I'm now on my 3rd week of this and I actually really like it! I wanted beyaz but my ins wouldn't pay for it.. When I first started it I had bad pains in my abdomen but I don't now. No spotting, nothing. I hope everything continues to work well for me with this birth control!
